Dear Lisa:

You wrote: “…fantasizing about being someone else. A version of myself. I never imagined a perfect life with no problems. The only thing different were my connections to people”-

You fantasized about a different version of yourself, a version connected to people.

“Alone”- the title of your thread, not connected- the theme of your childhood and life.

Connections to people, at least a connection to a person, is necessary for a person. We are born to be social, to connect. We only survive without; to live, to truly live is to connect.

“Fantasizing about being someone else. A version of myself. I never imagined a perfect life with no problems. The only thing different were my connections to people”- very powerful writing, says so much in just a few words. Worthy of being framed and displayed.

Till your next post, take care of yourself best you can-
